We have only a swamp cooler and with the humidity following the rains I am taking many breaks...as the swamp cooler doesnt work in this weather.<br /><br />Thanks for giving me this chance.

I know many many people will benefit from your posts on Double Nickle farm as well as New Mexico Preppers Network, and the guest posts you've done on the Canadian Sites. Across all the prepper networks, I've estimated that we get approximately 5,000 hits per day. I feel confident that we are making a difference in peoples lives everyday by the information we get out to them.

I am broker than broke--- my husband at 38 was permanently injured in an auto accident in the prime of his career...so what...just like this awful flood.

So I use what I know to the best of my ability and that's the internet. I'm far from being a good prepping author, but I certainly can help deliver the messages that preppers like you and the others have to share with those who need the information.APNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10846941621460730009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-426656373260268981.post-48393947494267234792009-06-29T16:50:02.964-07:002009-06-29T16:50:02.964-07:00idiotgrrl- we live around 15 miles south of Alamog...idiotgrrl- we live around 15 miles south of Alamogordo and no we never make the news. Many low flying planes today-which I am sure were assessing the situation. All animals are fairing well thus far...we were quite worried about our turkeys as they dont handle stress too well.<br /><br />AP-Prayers are all too important thing that I do not overlook. I will take your prayers in a heartbeat...our Escort ended up having water inside and we are airing it out. My husband was afraid he may not have moved it in time, but it is running well. So we are airing it out. I am driving it across the country in a week(to NY) to deliver it to my oldest son who is stationed there, so you can imagine how relieved we are that it is fine.<br />Thanks again AP for bringing prepping to the forefront of so may more folks...it will make all the differenceHumble wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02823200562312609670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-426656373260268981.post-80112756493492030222009-06-29T16:04:19.173-07:002009-06-29T16:04:19.173-07:00You can definitely know that If I were anywhere ne...You can definitely know that If I were anywhere near New Mexico, I would certainly stop in to do what I could to help, as I'm sure most of us would.

Our critics always ask what we are prepping for as they believe "it" will never happen to them, the government will always help, and America is immune to SHTF. Well, I got news for them, The government is always late to help, provides substandard service when they do, and SHTF happens all the time to different people and it looks like SHTF at your home and you were prepared for it, you survived it, and you will pull through with far less losses than those who do not prepare. And no doubt praying was the most important part of prepping.<br /><br />God BlessAPNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10846941621460730009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-426656373260268981.post-45475901076378934922009-06-29T06:22:37.071-07:002009-06-29T06:22:37.071-07:00Wow Jennifer I hope you guys can get everything so...Wow Jennifer I hope you guys can get everything sorted out soon.
